Pulsed laser deposition of epitaxial yttrium iron garnet films with low Gilbert damping and bulk-like magnetization

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG, Y 3Fe5O12) films have been epitaxially grown on Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG, Gd3Ga5O12) substrates with (100) orientation using pulsed laser deposition. The films were single-phase, epitaxial with the GGG substrate, and the root-mean-square surface roughness varied betwe...

Zusammenfassung:Yttrium iron garnet (YIG, Y 3Fe5O12) films have been epitaxially grown on Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG, Gd3Ga5O12) substrates with (100) orientation using pulsed laser deposition. The films were single-phase, epitaxial with the GGG substrate, and the root-mean-square surface roughness varied between 0.14 nm and 0.2 nm. Films with thicknesses ranging from 17 to 200 nm exhibited low coercivity (
